![]() ![]() The 16MP rear camera boasts a superfast lens that takes in 80 per cent more light than the LG G3’s already impressive camera. LG certainly hasn’t held back with the G4’s cameras. The G4’s phablet-sized dimensions can make it especially difficult for anyone with small hands to reach the buttons. We couldn’t get used to this placement and it felt awkward everytime we had to stretch our fingers to lock the phone, adjust the volume or screengrab. There are three buttons sitting below the 16MP camera on the back. ![]() The non-leather phones feel especially cheap and easy to scratch, which is worrying as the ceramic devices start from £500. You can also buy the LG G4 with a ceramic back, but we’d recommend sticking with the leather models if you can afford to splash out an extra £100. The G4 is also slightly curved at the front and LG has dubbed this design the ‘Slim Arc.’ It claims that this design offers “20 per cent better durability in face-down drops” and that it “gives the smartphone a more comfortable and secure feel in the hand.” The extra grip provided by the G4’s leather back meant we no such worries. Whenever we held the all-glass S6 edge in our hands, we were always slightly worried about it slipping from our hands and crashing to the ground. ![]() Sure, we prefer the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge’s curved design, but the leather-backed LG G4 does have one advantage over its main rival. Available in tan, black, burgundy, blue, grey and yellow stitching run’s down the back of the phone and that leather jacket makes it feel more luxurious. The LG G4 will really turn heads with its leather back. Will all this be enough to help LG escape the shadows of Apple and Samsung? LG has tweaked the software and hardware, whilst a leather-back gives the phone its own distinct look. Looks can be deceiving, however, and the G4 is anything but a copycat phone. The G4’s front looks similar to its predecessor at first glance. Not only does it have tough competition from the iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6, it also has to top the excellent G3. That gives the LG G4, the brand’s latest flagship, a gargantuan task to face. Last year’s G3 was the pinnacle for the Korean manufacturer and it showed that it could produce a smartphone that was just as good as anything Apple and Samsung offered. Since the G2’s release, LG has become a major rival for Apple and Samsung when producing high-end smartphones. ![]()
